JOIN US AS AN EXHIBITOR

​

Every year, we host three signature events open to all high school students each for FREE. Each with its own theme, but all with the common purpose of bringing together students from across our communities for leadership development workshops, college student and career panels, networking opportunities, and as always—a college and resource fair!

 

The THIRD and BIGGEST of these three events, this year, is our

HoPe Leadership Conference—Next Level!

 

We invite you to join us in the most energetic and transformational Hispanic leadership conference Georgia has seen yet! This conference will bring upwards of 1,000 students from all across the state.
